Samuel Jackson , Wesley Snipes , Jamie Fox et al usually either play parts only black actors can play eg Will Smith's Mohammed Ali bio pic or play black only stereotypes eg Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction, jive talking Will Smith's Men in Black, Empire etc. They rewrote a Tom Cruise part when Will Smith landed the role. Why not keep the role the same. Why can't an actress who is black play the perky preppy Emma Stone/ ReesecWitherspoon/ Jennifer Lawrence type roles?
If a tv character likes country music or opera, likes antique fairs or Roman history the actor cast will be white. If the character likes rap, from a poor area etc then black. Stereotypes.
Tiff is seen as the angry loud scary dangerously aggressive black woman who needs to go for housemates safety. Meagan will de depicted as feisty girl who has had a few drinks. Were Kristina , Danielle cowering from Meagan when she ranted? Yet hms were " scared" of Tiff. A lot of white people do see black people as aggressive. In fact Megan was so threatening security came in, but she's white so its all innocuous high jinks.
Also Meagan menacingly approached Tiffs bed. Tiff never actually approached anyone in her rant
